Directional interconnect cables

Macallan or Lagavulin for me, but I am fussy about which ones - though I am sure its all in my head and a blind man woldn't be able to tell the difference.

Sorry Redkiwi, I was not "attacking" you. You made a statement that I didn't agree with and I said so. It was not at all personal.
My definition of proof is "to provide evidence sufficient to establish a thing as true."

Kijanki, if you re-read my post you'll see I agree with you; I DO hear differences in IC's and speaker cables. My point though was that these differences may be immeasureable scientifically or even specific to my hearing.

Carl109 - I know, it was just a joke. It might be easy to observe that something likely "IS" but much more difficult to prove that something "ISN'T". We just don't know enough. Electromagnetic wave cannot be explained by stack of ping-pong balls or something like that, because there is a space between electrons about 100000x their size. How charge is transfered if they move very slow?. One theory is that electrons emit photons but it does not work either. We learn just few years ago how aspirine works (in usage since 1800s). Once we thing we know everything new discovery come like recent 4-th missing element "Memsistor". I would not involve science in Audio.
When I see great spects like THD=0.0001% I expect poor sound - something has to give. I don't even look at specifications.

Here's some food for thought

Food? Sure I'll have a slice of pie. Man this liqueur is heady stuff.

As for directional interconnects, let's stick to hard facts - the connection is key - and everyone knows that either way round works. Although a shield grounded at one end is advisable, especially if you are not sure of what RF/EM you might pick up.

And while your at it, Carl, is there any tea left in the celestial teapot? I'd love a cup!

Plenty of celestial tea for all, shall I pour?

Now where is that teapot?.....
